Theorem
The real sine function is periodic with the same period as the real cosine function.
Proof
Since Real Cosine Function is Periodic, let $L$ be its period.
From Primitive of Cosine Function:
- $\ds \int \cos x \rd x = \sin x + C$
for any constant $C$.
Therefore $\sin x$ is a Primitive of $\cos x$, for the special case of $C = 0$.
From Primitive of Periodic Real Function, it follows that $\sin x$ is periodic with period $L$.
